A goodly number of white. men vii
winter in Warrcns camp and numbc
ofgold and silver lelgcs will be operate,
by them. The Little Giant, owned ant
worked by Riebold, is still yieldu!
largely. He has FIVE stamp mill a
the mouth of the tunnel and is now put
ting up concentration, lately shipped
from San Francisco, and we are in
formed he will do custom work when in
operation This will tend to greatly
develope the camp as there are number
ofgood silver lodges, already discovered
that will pay largely, if the machinery
will only he pat in there. The old
Washington ledge, now called the Silve,
King, has been worked some the pas,
season by Ike Orcott Il Warren Helm,
and has proved to be good ledge. Gu,
of fourteen tons Of orc, from this ledge
crushed in N. B. Willcy's five stamp
mill, five hundred and eighty ounces Of
silver was cleaned up, and it is claimed
by those who know, that if prooel
machinery could have been used il
would have yielded nearly as much
more. The w. B. Knott, worked by
N. B. Wiley, yielded well the last
crushing. He has a good five stamp
mill and arasta combined on Steamboat
gulch, and he will take out GRE from his
ledge during the winter and crush it in
the spring and summer. The Bull Dog
is another silver ledge and will be
worked byI. Orcott and Geo. Brown
the coming winter. The ore from this
ledge has also payed good mining
wages and promises to be one of the
richest in the camp. The Hawkeye is
another silver ledge, owned by Riebold,
that has assayed largely and promises to
BE- second to none, when opened ont.
Several other good gold and silver lodges
are already discovered in the Warrens
district, but at present are not being
worked on account of capital being lin
tied to develope them. Put one half the
amount Of capital in Warrens camp that
has been put in the Occur Alene aud
she will excel it in tho extreme, aud we
hope the day is not far distant when men
Of means and energy will visit and in
